This sequel to a box-office sleeper hit that spoofed teen slasher flicks takes its cues from haunted house and possession films, particularly The Haunting (1999) and The Exorcist (1973). Although many of the first film's main characters were homicide victims, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and… More

Critic Reviews

  • , Time Out

    It shows no understanding of or insight into the genre it's attempting to parody, nor indeed of cinema in general.

  • Peter Rainer, New York Magazine

    Scary Movie 2 isn't scary, funny-scary, or even just plain funny.

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    An act of nose-thumbing that never quite figures out how, or even where, to position its thumb.

  • Dennis Lim, Village Voice

    This time Wayans and company don't so much lampoon their targets as ineptly copy them.

  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

    It's a lot more tightly focused than the first outing.

    Decent sequel to Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2 is also the last good film of the franchise. The film has decent laughs, and the cast are pretty good, but you can see that the filmmakers were struggling with the ideas on-screen. There are parts of the film that aren't funny, and… More

    I hate stupid movies. Catch my drift?

    I saw the majority of this (well, around 65%-75%) on YouTube a while ago, and it had a few funny parts, but only a few. Unlike the original SCARY MOVIE, the incredibly dumb humor often fails to choke laughs out of you, and there is still bad acting, but this time it's… More
